Paypal always side with the buyer in these cases so assume he's been burned before. if i was him id also be getting red flags with someone trying to buy something and have it posted to a country where the car wasn't ever available?

looks shite, least its still petrol right enough, becoming a thing of the past

bummer, was hoping a dodgy coil was the culprit! I've never known a crank sensor to cause one to idle high, just randomly cut out or struggle to start, possibly worth a go since they are cheap!

Engine bay fuse box would be my first port of call, pull the relays out, clean up with a bit of sandpaper and re insert. Also make sure battery terminals are secure

172 cup is the MK2 to own for me! I liked mine the best followed by my ph1 172 then my Trophy

One of my best mates was going to buy it and put a meg engine in it but he's a shite bag

There's a seller on eBay that sells febi bilstein rear beam bushes that come with new nuts and bolts for under £30, I bought a set purely for the nuts and bolts as Renault had them in back order and the bushes look fantastic quality, just as good as OEM. Doddle to change too

love it! anymore plans for it? im almost finished mine too

All MK2 use the same bolt https://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/steering-suspension/renault-clio-172-182-rear-shock-absorber-bolt-nut/

Cracked on with this yesterday as I've not had much time recently with everything going on in the world! Finally got time to drop the old rusty, drum wearing rear beam off! Spent all day rubbing down the 182 rear beam and painted it black and forgot to take any photos DOH!!! Fitted a set...

I love my 182 I just feel any time I daily drive it for an extended period of time it gets very tiresome. On the right road, on the right day, a few times a month it's fantastic but sitting in traffic it's loud, uncomfortable, unrefined, heavy clutch, heavy steering, needs revved to make...

maybe I'm just getting old but I cant think of anything worse than daily driving a mk2 Clio. I daily drove a mk3 for a year at the time about 40 miles a day and it was spot on, night and day over my mk2's MK4 was the best daily I've had but over budget and no manual as you say

Stunning, really like that. Plates ruin it imo though

Sounds possible, there is a gearbox guru on here but his name escapes me

My understanding is a jc5 does fit but you would need a ph1 172 or 172 cup one with the Speedo drive?

very vague description so it could be 1 million things but ill take a stab in the dark at the most common and say its a fucked injector or 2 or 3 or 4 and that's why its not starting as the rail isn't seeing enough pressure to fire. chances are if an injector or 2 is on the way out the pump...

and the best time for buying ;-)

usually will present its self shifting to 3rd and 4th first, change into 3rd at 7400rpm or what ever the beep is it and you will feel it crunch if its on its way out

is that for real?!

Done it online on their website this was before the days of price comparison sites, I was £3000 a year the first year then my 2nd year it halfed and pretty much continued to half, I now insure them for £180 a year 😎

going back a while now but Admiral insured me at 17 on my first one, it wasn't cheap but it was a lot cheaper than elsewhere

Keep it as a toy, I couldn't be bothered driving one daily but as a toy they are hard to beat

agree, but you always hit that peak where it peaks then starts to go down hill, just shows if well serviced that's probably not until at least after 150-170k!

181 next time id say. While there will always be variances in RR's, running on the same rollers at the same place is as close as your going to get to keeping it accurate and getting to measure your results of your work! Looks like a strong engine that one, good given the miles just shows that...

Works on the production line??! Sounds like he also runs a side business as a Persian rug dealer

I went down the PMS kit to remove my AC/PAS and relocate alternator, looks a nice piece of kit and the belt setup is so simple with plenty room and weight saved

Black as pictured is the correct one. Cup spoiler cars had a red one and non sports that didn't get the spoiler were red

I didn't realise they were so closely related to a normal mk2, did they just take a mk2 body shell and modify it rather than a specific shell?
